Vintage Park
BY: Randy Shannon

Fellow Street Rodders,

Our many thanks for an outstanding turnout at the Vintage Park Spring Fling this past Saturday.

It was perhaps one of the most spectacular shows we have ever hosted and we owe our thanks to all the wonderful Street Rodders who attended and supported our endeavor.

Our many thanks to the exhibitors who took the time to enhance our show with exhibitions in the performance world and also our specialty shops that build the these cruisers.

A special thanks to Vintage Park for their hospitality and use of such a wonderful facility to show our prized street rods.

Although there are a few rough spots to smooth out at any show or exhibit, we learn what to do for the next one as we did here.

We sincerely hope everyone enjoyed our biggest show to date!

For those of you who missed it, you shoulda' been there!

We at one time had a count of 778 classic cars but soon all changed after more were reported at HEB and other areas that we were not aware of.

So, we are not really sure just how many attended nor the final count that attended but, we could estimate between 800 to 850 classic cars were there at one time or another.

We are proud of each and every one of you!

A special thanks to those who drove long distances to participate as well.

It's a great feeling to see so many cruisers from different car clubs and different parts of the state all come together!

Again, Thank You!

Feedback from our Rodders!

Randy,

Thanks for having us, Riviera Owners Association.

I had several people say wow what a meet, I have never seen so many
Rivieras in one spot at the same time.

That is all do to you and your incredible efforts.

When are you scaling Mt Everest?

I believe
you could do anything you set your mind to! Is it true there were over 1,000 cars?
It was incredible. Once again, very organized
and controlled.

I know you were very busy, but to take even a minute to come by was very impressive. I told my wife who came and got you why did you do that this guy is trying to keep a lid on an event, she doesn't realized the responsibility involved.

I hope there was
not a single incident or altercation and it was flawless.

I think you will have one or two more weekly from our organization at the Kroger. I apologize for not being there Friday morning.
My car left the shop at 12:30am on Saturday morning. That is right, Chris Newcomb stayed at his shop with me until
almost 1:00 in the morning to make the meet yesterday. He was behind schedule and said he promised it would make the
event and by God it was going to be there if he had to trailer it there himself on Saturday. Classic Restorations did a excellent
Job on the paint and body and it showed.

My 66 Toronado really received a lot of attention. It was good to have a young crowd say, "What is it? I love it, that is a cool car"
What really amazed me was how many people stopped and said, "I used to have one of those, I think that was the best car
I ever owned" All of them from the North no less. Most Texans have never seen one.

Congratulations on a job well done!!!

GREAT SHOW. Too bad I couldn't spend the entire afternoon.

See ya next weekend @ Kroger.

You are absolutely right. There can never be enough pictures. When I go to shows and events, I aim to get a picture of nearly every car there. I like to think of it as "preserving the history of automobiles through photography".

I live down in League City and have been going to the Saturday meets in Kemah for the past couple of years. I thought that 100 cars was a good turnout. When I came to the Vintage Park show Saturday, I was blown away. I could not believe the amount of cars that were pouring in. Not to mention variety. I've got an old Buick and like I previously mentioned, I plan on attending more of your shows. How do I sign up for the newsletter?

Thanks again, Brian

********************************************

Thanks so much for what you do for us. Great turn out and weather, thanks again for putting this together !

Thanks Very Much,
John D.. Hannsz

************************************************

I was at the show Saturday and took some photos. I had a few people at the show suggest that I email the Niftee50ees website and ask if you would link to the photos so that they, and everyone else, could see them. If this is of interest to you, the link is below. Thanks for such an amazing car show. I look forward to future events.

Bob's Travels In & Around The Houston Area!!!

WOW, what a busy weekend, for me anyway!!!!
With my car in Corvette Expo and wanting to at least make an appearance at The Spring Fling in Vintage Park, hosted by Randy Shannon of Niftee50ees, which I was still able to make.

After talking with all my fellow Cruise Doctors, it seems that I have a sciatic nerve giving me a fit, but I’m not going to let that stop me, or do I have time to go and see a REAL Doctor!! (man thing)

Corvette Expo was very disappointing to say the least. Fewer cars, vendors, and spectators then any of my thirteen years that I have been going to Corvette Expo. Most of us have noticed this for the last few years, so I’m not going to blame it ALL in the state of the economy.

Still enjoyed my fellow club members and cruisin’ buddies. Now I drag my body with right leg in toe to the Spring Fling at Vintage Park. When I pulled up at about 11 AM, the surprise of all the cars was not far from my expectation of knowing how many cars would follow Niftee50ees to Vintage Park.

There was row after row of cars as far as you could see. What a good feeling, even my sciatic nerve wasn't getting the best of me now!!! Made my way up through all the cars to Randy, and the first thing he does is stick me behind a microphone.

Have you ever seen a deer in your head lights, will needless to say I’m not very comfortable in this position, but I said, self, lets give this a try. I know all the things that I need to convey to the Cruisin’ public, but it all comes out in a distorted broken voice that I don’t even recognize myself. I'm not gifted with a silver tongue like my buddy Randy.

Okay enough of this!

I just can’t say enough about Randy, Molly (his photographer) and all the volunteers of the Niftee50ees. No doubt he burnt the midnight oil a many a night putting this Spring Fling together for you the Cruisin’ Public, Rodders, and the Gear Grinders out there!! I’m going to put myself out there on a limb and guess that there had to be somewhere between 750 to 1000 cars.

I’m sure, he will have one hell of a write up in his Niftee50ees News Letter in a couple of days, and I’ll see how close I was. So with that, I’m not going to grab anymore of his thunder on the 1st. ANNUAL SPRING FLING at Vintage Park.

Thank you Randy, “YOU’RE THE MAN” just keep that microphone away from me

Before we Go..

The Vintage Park Spring Fling was indeed a beautiful site for the Niftee50ees Fun Run and Exhibition Show!

With about 20 hours of sleep during the week before the event, needless to say I was a walking Zombie as many people came by to say hello and I must have looked like a Space Child to them.

We can't say enough for ALL who attended and supported us.

We would like to pay a special tribute first of all to our faithful volunteers for their hard work and dedication to our hobby and their lending hand to support Niftee50ees

To Carl of Competition Sales for helping us contact and setting up many of the exhibitors and lending a helpful hand with moral support and enthusiasm to the event.

To Bob Wright of Space City Cruisers for stopping by and also spreading the news for us. ( You did just fine on the microphone, Bob )

John Mandabach of HMP who also attended and extended tickets to HMP events.

Gary Groske of Vintage Chevrolet Club who will be hosting the large Swap Meet coming to Traders Village March 21.

And most of all..

To our very dedicated and loved street rodders who believe in our efforts to better serve them with all we can offer.

Your support is what keeps us striving for bigger and better things for ALL of us to enjoy both in promoting and participating in our love for the classic automobile, as we like to relate as the best times in American History!

Finally,

To our friends in the Performance Parts Industry who took the time to be a special part of our day!

Our hats are off to each and every one of you by GOLLY!

Job Well Done!

Bringing you the Cruise News!

Special Addition
BY: Randy Shannon

This weekend Vintage Park will kick off it's Spring Fling of fun and is honoring Niftee50ees Classic Cruisers.

We have received numerous phone calls and emails in reference to the event.

We hope to answer many of the questions that have been brought up from many rodders in this newsletter.

FRIDAY, March 6, 2009

For those of you who wish to participate in the live Fox 26 Broadcast here is what we have.

Fox 26 will arrive at Vintage Park at 5:15AM
There will be three ( 3 ) live remote broadcast
approximately 2 to 3 minute break ins on the morning drive time.

A little time to set up the remote broadcast via satellite will be needed before the first air time.

We estimate the first broadcast sometime around 5:45am or later.

The second break in around 7:20am

Final break approximately 8:30am

We won't need all of the cars at one time and will do our best to include everyone committed to have exposure during one of the breaks.

Fox 26 will have Lanny Griffith on the premises to interview.

Pick a time that is best for you to attend for those of you participating.

We have more than enough cars attending for the broadcast.

If you need additional assistance or have questions, please call us.

Otherwise, we will see you at Vintage Park FRIDAY Morning.

You will need to arrive in time to line up the cars for the footage.

We appreciate those that have volunteered their time and effort for this unique opportunity.

Thank you in advance.

Our thanks also to Vintage Park Management.

SATURDAY, MARCH 7, 2009

This will be the Big One!

OK, let's do this one more time on the ROD RUN.

The "ROD RUN" as it is called will be your destination run to VINTAGE PARK.

You will depart from your origin and either caravan together or drive singularly to
VINTAGE PARK

It's a local Rod Run for the local folks and a brief drive for those traveling a distance to attend.

This is a FUN RUN

Rod Run Arrivals 8am - 10am

Questions:

Is there an entry Fee?

There is NO entry fee

( Donations are always appreciated to help pay our expenses.)

Will there be Judging?

NO

We want everyone to come and enjoy a full day of fun, dining, and entertainment.

Can we bring our Pop Up Tents?

We have designated a grassy field for those who wish to set up a Pop Up Tent.

The "Tent Field" will be available for those wishing to set up tables and chairs under your tent.

The tent field will be designated in front of the facility.

All tents must be properly secured to prevent wind blown damage!

Will tents be allowed near our cars on the parking lot?

NO

Again, the Tent Field is designated for this purpose and will be near the Exhibit area.

We want to avoid any damage to cars or property.

Can we reserve spaces?

Due to the expectant huge gathering, it will be impossible to reserve spaces.
Those that have given advance notice will be accommodated
arrive early!

Arrive together-Park together
collectively

Where do we enter??

Arrivals will be at the main entrance of Vintage Park.

LOOK FOR THE CHECKER FLAGS ON LOUETTA RD.
MARKING THE MAIN ENTRANCE.

Parking Assignments?

Our volunteer staff will do all we can to assist you in finding a parking space. Please be patient and follow directions as we direct the flow of cars to designated areas.
We want to get everyone off the street as quickly as possible and on to the parking lot at Vintage Park to make sure no lines are in the streets.

We may ask you to temporarily park in a holding pattern until all the cars are parked securely and safely in the permanent parking lanes.

We will get you parked as quickly as possible depending on how many arrive at the same time.

Parking will be tight, PLEASE be cautious and alert!

ALL arrivals will need to check in at our courtesy booth after you have parked!

Exhibition Show and Shine
11am - 3pm

The exhibition "Show and Shine" will formally start at
11am till 3pm

Our goal is to have all the arrivals designated and parked before the huge crowd of spectators arrive.

At the request of Vintage Park, they have asked us to PLEASE plan on staying the entire length of the show time.

Our participation in this event will reflect our gratitude for allowing us to attend.

Vintage Park has promoted this event for Niftee50ees and spent a lot of funds to promote the Classic Car Industry!

Let's give them a great show and appreciation for their support!
The area restaurants are looking forward to serving you and are excited to see your Classic Cars!!

We ask everyone to represent our organization in the best manner and courtesy as you have always done!

Street Rodders are AWESOME!

Plan on a FULL participation day of fun!

Closing Thoughts

We have worked very hard to bring our Street Rodders continued enjoyment with their prized Classic Cars.

Our efforts can be challenging to do our best to keep the hobby alive and well.
This being the first attempt for such a large event at Vintage Park, we are sure there may be a few rough edges that will need attention for any future shows.

It is a new facility and parking along with coordination may be a challenge for us on our first attempt.

We all learn from our efforts.

Non the less, we want everyone to enjoy our attempts as we strive to improve Niftee50ees

We want everyone to have a safe journey to and from the event, have fun, socialize and enjoy another gifted day we all have to enjoy our Classic Cars!

Welcome to another planned season of Niftee50ees!

Welcome to Springtime, and welcome to Vintage Park!

Our many Thanks to ALL the exhibitors taking time to attend the event and a special thanks to Carl at Competition Sales for backing Niftee50ees with their added interest and support for our goals!

We will see you this weekend!

Vintage Park Spring Fling
By: Randy Shannon

Several shows are approaching for the weekend of March 7, 2009.

We hope you will choose and attend one near you.

For those of you attending the Vintage Park Spring Fling on March 7, here is a little more information.

Friday
March 6, 2009

Fox News Channel 26 will be on premise at Vintage Park to do a few live remote broadcast promoting the show for Saturday, March 7.

We will need a few classic cars for the remote broadcast to be presented for the coverage.

We are asking fellow rodders that live close by to be a part of the broadcast if you would like to be included.

If so, you will need to be at Vintage Park by 5:15AM for the first lead in and then several others at 7:20AM and another around 8:30AM

These broadcasts will be shown live on Fox 26 and interviews with myself and the street rodders will be shown on TV.

We know that is early but, it's all we could get.

If you would be interested in being a part of this TV Broadcast, please contact me either by email or telephone as soon as possible.

email - niftee50ees@cs.com
Phone - 281-620-4987

We could use about 8 to 10 cars.

If the weather is bad, then we will opt to another source.

Of course we will keep everyone posted that wishes to participate if any changes.

It won't be too hard on me since I normally don't get to bed before 5AM!

LOL

Our next newsletter will be a little more in detail on our scheduled show.

We would like to remind everyone however, that saving spaces is not an option.

We simply will not be able to reserve spaces for anyone unless you have pre arranged with us in advance.

Please be patient and understanding as we plan on having a huge crowd if all goes well.

That means we will do our best to accommodate everyone and help find spaces where available.

We have had several inquiries as to the "Rod Run" and many are misunderstanding our meaning here.

There will not be a Rod Run from Vintage Park.
Instead, the Rod Run is to Vintage Park.

Our schedule is as follows:

All Rodders will either caravan together from your home location and come as a group or by yourself to Vintage Park.

That is the Rod Run.

Since many are planning on attending from out of town, it will be a Rod Run for them.

Destination to Vintage Park and arrivals should be between 8am to 10am.

The formal exhibition show will be between 11am to 3pm where spectators will view the exhibit area.

We hope this clears up the confusion to some who have called us.

There is NO Entry Fee.

Fun Run and General Exhibition Show defines this event.

For Those of you that are a hands on type guy who works on your own engines and have come across some broken parts and wished their was an easy way to duplicate it.

Then this is a MUST SEE video (8 minutes long)!!!
3D scanner & rapid prototype engine.

It is good to see the progress the industry has made in 20 years. "Rapid Prototyping" was just coming on line in 1988. At that time you needed a 3D CAD rendering & the part was built up in a polymer bath. It was suitable for some "fit" evaluation, but the material was so unstable that, when handling it, the warmth of your hands could cause it to distort. The laser measuring system is certainly faster & more accurate than the "coordinate measuring" machines that filled a room.

This is one show that I highly recommend to anyone with a Classic Car that is ALL original. This show is by invitation only!! But don't let that stop you, Joe Linbeck loves unique and special one of kind cars for there show on the floor of the Reliant Stadium. The only expense for you to be in this show, is the gas to get there and back. I urge you to call Joe and let him decide if your classic is what they are looking for. Trust Me, You Will Love This One!!! YOU SNOOZE, YOU LOOSE

I hope you will help us spread the word about a new automobile history facility at Moody Mansion in Galveston.
We have built a garage and filled it with the story of America's love affair with the automobile. It's called "Auto Fever," and we think you'll enjoy this road trip through history. We tell the story through artifacts from the Moody family's collection, along with a trio of the family's cars -- a 1931 Studebaker, a 1949 Cadillac Fleetwood, and a 1953 Cadillac Coupe de Ville.
A 1940 LaSalle was damaged by Hurricane Ike, and will rejoin the collection later this year.
We're inviting members of local car clubs to experience "Auto Fever" and tour Moody Mansion free of charge during March. We hope you'll drive a vintage car to the museum to qualify for your free admission, but we'll admit you free if you have a membership card to a vintage car group. Plus you'll enjoy a 10-percent discount in our gift shop.
Also, if your auto club members would like to exhibit their cars at the museum some weekend in March or April, give us a call and we'll put you on the schedule. Our grand opening weekend is March 7th so if your club wants to join us between 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. that day, we would love to welcome you as part of this special celebration!
We're doing this to introduce "Auto Fever" to the public, and that's where you come in: Would you please forward this email to everyone on your mailing list, circulate it among members of the groups you belong to, and post the invitation on all of the blogs you frequent? This is a way to add "horsepower" to our introductory month, and appreciate any help you can give us.

Krew Du Lac Maras Parade in Kemah
By: Bob Wright

Sunday, February 22nd.

I didn't think that I would be able to make the Krew Du Lac Maras Parade in Kemah, but Brad's Muffler (SCC Sponsor) did one hell of a job on replacing my Stainless Steel exhaust system on the Camaro. Couldn't ask for a better day to hold this event. Want to thank Ben Dickerson for the last seven pictures he sent me. Mary Proudy (North Galveston County Chamber), and Denny Holt (SCC Car Club) were able to muster up five convertibles as requested.

Project Car

Randy

We are going to auction off a 68 GTO at our Klein Mini-Storage on Spring-cypress on 21 March. Details in Tomball Tribune. I wanted to get the word out to the GTO crowd to see if anyone is interested. I would write the club but cannot find a contact. Figured you might. In my opinion, the only thing good on the car is the VIN number. If someone asks you, It does have motor + drive train and I think that is original but is rusted out. It would be a Frame-up restoration. Take the frame and add every thing else.

Vette-Rodder passes away.
By: Tony Accardo

Bob Lyon, a member of the NWHoustonVette-Rods Group passed away on February 17th after a long battle with cancer. As a gesture of respect and appreciation for being a dedicated member, the Vette-Rodders organized a "DriveBy" tribute to Bob and his family. A total of 20 Vettes showed up this past Thursday in front of Bob's home in NW Houston. Jim Sims, driving his white 1954, lead the way. Tony Accardo and Joe Beatty presented his wife Patty with a model of Bob's yellow Z06 signed by the members. There was not a dry eye in the crowd.

According to this friends and family, Bob was the consummate car guy and competitor owning numerous Corvettes including his favorite of all, his yellow Z06 that he named "Bad Bird". He also restored a Jaguar XKE and Pantera. He was an active member of SCCA and was licensed to drive a Formula Vee which he road raced for several years. Bob loved all forms of racing, but the happiest days of his life were spent at the track driving his Formula Vee. Win, loose or wreck, it did not matter to Bob since he just loved life, competition and being at the track. His friends and family, especially Patty, will miss him dearly. Hot Rodding is a very close community for sure and long live our inner child who can't wait for the next event to begin.

Many Thanks Randy and see you on March 7th around 8:00. I already have 18 cars signed up.

Tony Accardo

Bob Lyon will be missed dearly..
Our greatest sympathy to the remaining family members.

Have a very nice weekend and we will see everyone soon!

Vintage Park Spring Fling
Featuring Niftee50ees

Fellow Street Rodders,

We are counting down the weeks and days for car show events to start springing up!

We have received hundreds of emails and phone calls in reference to the new season that is fast approaching.

We remind everyone to get em ready to show and shine as we look forward to what we hope is an another great season of cruisin.

Our office has been swamped with paperwork and lots of midnight oil burning to prepare for our opening schedule which will kick off at Vintage Park on March 7, 2009.

We hope that mother nature will smile upon us for this big event as we expect a huge turnout weather permitting.

We suggest for the rodders to plan on an early rise, grab a bite of breakfast, and then join the rally to Vintage Park.

Rodders should plan on arriving between 8am to 10am to get parked and set up for the exhibition show which will run between 11am to 3pm.

All street rodders should be parked and set up before the exhibition show gets underway.

We would like to thank our fellow supporters for attending this event by exhibiting their performance lines and services for the event.

A friendly reminder again to our exhibitors to be set up and ready by 9am.
All tables and tents should be in place and secured.

We suggest extra security for tents and displays from any possible wind gust or brisky breezes just in case.

We have received calls from out of town rodders from Austin, San Marcos, Dallas, and other areas expressing their interest in attending the Vintage Park Spring Fling!

If all goes well, we should have a pretty busy day!

Mark your calendars for Saturday, March 7, 2009

Plan on making this a full day of Street Roddin, and feasting!

Niftee50ees Classic Drive In
March 14, 2009

We are in the process of securing our new lease agreement and provisions for our 2009 season.
Some final adjustments and amendments and we will be ready to open.

We would like to remind all of our participants that we are open to all Classic Cars, Street Rods, and Vintage Rides 1979 and under in production years.

Although we do appreciate everyone's taste in their individual ride choices and production year models, we are limited to spaces and must try to accommodate our format for the older year model cars.

Until we can establish larger parking arrangements to accept more cars, we will need to keep the show safe and avoid over crowding for our faithful participants.

In the meantime, we look forward to seeing everyone for our opening night at Niftee50ees Classic Drive in!

A New Kid on the Block

Randy -

We spoke a few weeks ago about the new site, and I wanted to let you know it's up and running. I'd love to share promotion with Niftee50ees to help generate even more public interest in events mentioned on your site.

Could you add me to the weekly Niftee 50ees email list? And is it all right if I check your site for new flyers? Or better yet, feel free to let those folks know about HCS.net too, and we'll be able to cover twice as much ground together. Have them email me the same stuff they email you.

Looking forward to seeing you March 7 at Vintage Park!

Clarification of Vintage Park Spring Fling
By: Randy Shannon

For the benifit of our fellow Street Rodders and Car Club organizations, we would like to clarify the show header for the Vintage Park Spring Fling as being chosen by the management of Vintage Park and it's owners.

The Vintage Park Spring Fling is an event for ALL types of activities that will be taking place on March 7, 2009, at Vintage Park, and also promoted as the Vintage Park Spring Fling.

An invitation to be part of the event was extended to Niftee50ees to host the car show event which is part of the Vintage Park Spring Fling.

We ( Niftee50ees ) is hosting the Rod Run or Fun Run and Exhibition of Classic Cars to be exhibited at the Vintage Park Spring Fling

We have no control of owners right to promote an event under any simular or identical name that might also be used for a Car Show Event or any other promotion.

Niftee50ees is acting and promoting our participation in this event under the title Vintage Park has requested as the Spring Fling

We thought it might be worth the time to explain our participation during the proposed event as invited guest and to host the car show event in association with Vintage Park Spring Fling.

Obviously, we have struck a nerve with at least a few of the rodders for the term "Spring Fling" which is also being used for other car shows.

It has always been our policy to work with fellow car clubs, promote their activities when we possibly can, and wish them great success with their efforts in providing services to the Street Rod Community.

Never in our history have we tried to disrupt, criticize, or condemn fellow organizations with their efforts.

We furthermore, have never refused our free service to try and promote fellow car clubs or rodders with advertising their event or flier for posting on our website or at our shows.

It's yours for the asking.

In closing, we feel we our reprimand is unwarranted as to cause conflicting show title names since we did not choose the one in the above mentioned paragraphs.

We are only participants at the Vintage Park Spring Fling!

I think we all need to enjoy our time that has been given to us to enjoy one another, our street rods, fellow car show events.

Support your local car clubs, members, and their efforts for ALL of us!

To all our fans and participants, we wish you a very successful year and added fun with your classic rides.
Keep checking the website for updates.

We have increased the purse and added more races to the 2009 Tour.

Last year High Velocity had a great year and 2009 looks even more exciting, so mark you calendars because you don’t want to miss any of these events.

Each event will have additional features added, some with Pro Mods, some with Fuel Alters and some with Index races, so stay tuned as more information is released on the High Velocity Impact 2009 Series tour.

These cars are the skinniest of tires with the maximum of horsepower which

makes this class one of the most exciting to watch as the cars rip down the

track side by side in a heads up dual race all while running on the ragged

HFD Car and Bike Show

There’s a new restaurant in town called the Brick House Tavern and Tap. It’s located at 12910 Hwy 290, between Pinemont and Holister. The restaurant is unique in setting, food and service. The best way to explain is to have you visit their website at www.brickhousetavernandtap.com

A few of the HFD Street Machines members met with the management and have agreed to terms for a car and bike show on March 28, 2009. The show will benefit the Houston Fire Museum.

The Houston Fire Museum is a 501 (c)(3), non-profit organization so, any money spent by show participants, as well as show sponsors, will have the benefit of a tax deduction.

The Fire Museum has set up a link to the entry form and online payment. The webmaster for the Fire Museum told me that he is having an issue with the security certificate and website shaking hands (?) but, he assures me that the payment methods are secure. I know that the Fire Museum does business in this manner throughout the year, some of which involves large sums of money.

If you don’t feel secure in using this method of payment, you can also print the entry form, fill it out and mail it to the museum at the address listed on the website. Be sure to make the check payable to the Houston Fire Museum, c/o Brick House Car and Bike Show.

We will have links posted from several websites, assuming some of the other clubs will help with this, to the Fire Museum website. The Brick House and the HFD Street Machines (www.hfdstreetmachines.com-a.googlepages.com/home2) are among those sites.

I hope to see you all there. I know there are some active clubs, such as the Houston Chevelle Club, who are chomping at the bit to get the show/cruise season going again.
Stay safe,
Russell Harris HFD Street Machines Car Club

All Exhibitors must be unloaded and complete with set up by 9am
Please remember to bring tie downs or anchors to secure your tent and secure any loose objects that could cause damage to the premises, classic cars and spectators.

Exhibitors will be set up on concrete surfaces next to Niftee50ees courtesy booth and DJ Van and, will be side by side down the galley way.

We suggest 5 gallon pails filled with water or sand to secure your tent from a possible wind gust.

ALL signs or uprights must be secured.

The exhibit area will be close to the buildings and we must protect the premises to avoid broken glass or damage to the structures..

All vehicles must be off the parking lot after set up at 9am sharp.

For questions or additional info concerning exhibit area,
please call us at 281-620-4987

In closing thoughts, we hope the event will bring joy to all.

We are already exhausted and the season hasn't even be started yet!
We will be attempting to get all the details wrapped up in the next few weeks.

Happy Roddin!
